5 All Methods for Building Subsurface and Reservoir Models are Dependent on Geospatial Data Limited Data Accuracy and Gross Errors Erode Value Surface position errors with seismic and well data Datum and elevation errors Surface Location errors Limited Directional Survey Data Accuracy - Ellipse of Uncertainty Current errors models as defined by current ISCWSA models do not gross errors into account Accuracy can be improved by applying corrections and additional services Unrecognized Gross Errors Can Have a Huge Negative Impact 43 rd General Meeting March 4 th, 2016
6 Value and Success of Wells 6
7 What Happens When Directional Survey Uncertainty and Gross Errors are Overlooked? Wells are poorly placed in reservoir or miss the reservoir entirely Footage in reservoir is forfeited Fracture stages may be lost or non-effective Lost Production Early breakthrough of water or gas Hidden severe doglegs may be missed leading to MWD tool failures Casing wear and completion equipment failures Operators don t learn what really happened (mistakes are repeated) The result is lost value and Reserves. 7
8 Need to Take Directional Survey Uncertainty Into Account When Planning Wells Assumed Gas Cap Expansion Drive After Stockhausen 2003, AAPG Paper Flexible Wellpath Planning for Horizontal and Extended-reach Wells 8
9 Assessing the Risk of Survey Uncertainty After Stockhausen 2003, AAPG Paper Flexible Wellpath Planning for Horizontal and Extended-reach Wells 9
10 Sources of Gross Positional Errors See SPE/IADC Paper Using patterned slide/rotate drilling practices in the build section Short slide intervals when drilling lateral or tangent section to correct for build/drop/walking tendencies Changing drilling parameter settings with rotary steerable systems in the interval between long-spaced survey points The Stockhausen Effect Describes how wells are often misplaced as a result of not taking enough surveys to accurately define the true curvature of a given wellbore. After SPE 79917, Stockhausen
11 Sources of Gross Positional Errors See SPE/IADC Paper Directional changes resulting from changes in lithology particularly when encountering tight streaks at low incident angles Can be extreme and lead to MWD tool failure Casing exits with large survey gaps particularly when sidetracking wells The Stockhausen Effect It also implies a failure to know that the well is misplaced - with the belief that the definitive surveys provided are accurate and that they are free of gross error. After SPE 79917, Stockhausen
12 The Value of Research See SPE/IADC Paper SPE/IADC Paper Provides concrete proof of the discontiguous nature of drilling with PDM motors That is, there is a formation of a step and an instantaneous change the trajectory angle at the start of a slide interval and a slightly different effect but loss of angle at the end of a slide interval 12
13 The Value of Research See SPE/IADC Paper
14 10 Key Points to Think About 1 Geospatial on positional errors often get compounded as we go from the first well within a basin forward to making detailed maps on specific reservoir units. 14
15 10 Key Points to Think About 2 As we attempt to knit together the framework of our reservoir models, the data from one well is compared and contrasted to the next well and is often tied into seismic data to connect or separate various reservoir units. 15
16 10 Key Points to Think About 3 When positional errors are present, they begin to unravel the fabric and framework and our confidence in our models 16
17 10 Key Points to Think About 4 As additional wells are drilled the existing errors and the newly created errors show up as: geologic markers coming in shallower or deeper than anticipated as apparent differences in gas/oil, gas/water, or oil/water contacts between wells as apparent differences in fluid pressure gradients 17
18 10 Key Points to Think About 5 Any discrepancies, even the smallest, causes frustration and confusion This can lead to bad decisions and lost value Additionally reservoirs often being incorrectly broken up into compartments This can lead to wells not being drilled 18
19 10 Key Points to Think About 6 Infill wells, particularly horizontal wells can miss large sections of the reservoir, or can be accidentally placed closer to fluid contacts when gross errors are present; resulting in early breakthrough of water or gas resulting in significant lost value often delaying or sometimes stopping entire development program 19
20 10 Key Points to Think About 7 Both Geologists and Reservoir Engineers are for the most part unaware of or do not know how to deal with the standard positional error models. 20
21 10 Key Points to Think About 8 The amount of time that I have spent in my career frustrated by positional errors and attempting to identify the sources and prevent future mistakes can be measured in years and years and years of work. 21
22 10 Key Points to Think About 9 You all, as part of ISCWSA, are well aware of the sources of positional errors. 22
23 10 Key Points to Think About 10 Gross positional errors, such as, the so called "Stockhausen Effect" are preventable but who is responsible?... Combining continuous and stationary survey data can provide an accurate solution. 23
24 Conclusion Through continued knowledge sharing and the education work being done by the ISCWSA Committee, and through the development of new surveying tools and software We can continue to move the industry forward 24
